Take the Gu Family banquet for an example. Luo Zheng targeted me for no reason, and she was almost full of hatred… if it’s only because of the fact that she carries a torch for Bo Hancheng and sees me as a rival in love, that’d be too much of an exaggeration!
Well, unless she knows that I’m Mu Tianwei’s daughter too, or perhaps… she knows that Mu Tianwei was already married with children before he married Luo Huawei!
That’s the only explanation for the animosity she bears against me.
“Miss Luo, what… do you mean? Why don’t I seem to understand… ”
Mu Nianqing continued smiling again as she asked in bewilderment.
“We’re the only ones here and yet, you’re still putting on an act. Aren’t you tired of acting?”
Luo Zheng retorted in disgust, absolutely repulsed by Mu Nianqing’s pretentiousness.
For a moment, there was silence in the air.
“Miss Luo, what fruits do you like? Why don’t I peel you an apple… ” Mu Nianqing asked all of a sudden.
She then took out a bright red apple from the bag of fruits, followed by a fruit knife which she then used to peel the skin of the apple.
“I don’t know what you mean by acting but Miss Luo, there’s something I’d like to ask you. You’re a pure and innocent girl. Why do you have to be so cheap as to get in between someone else’s relationship and become a home wrecker whom everyone despises?”
Mu Nianqing was still smiling but there was hair-raising malice in her smile.
Luo Zheng’s heart wrenched up and she tried to curb the dull ache. With an icy cold gaze, she said, “What’s the point of saying these to me? A home wrecker is indeed despised by everyone! Take Zhao Manru for an example. She’s been hidden in the dark for more than a decade, as a lowly clandestine lover! Oh, right, even her children are illegitimate. How pitiful! Miss Mu, don’t you… agree?”
Without a doubt, Luo Zheng’s words were a thorn in Mu Nianqing’s flesh.
Her mother had clearly married Mu Tianwei first but he married Luo Huawei again when he met her in Beijing, just because he had yet to register his marriage with Zhao Manru.
That was not all. For more than ten years, her mother had always been his clandestine lover and even Mu Nianqing and her brother had to be labeled as illegitimate children and other distasteful terms.
In the past, she really didn’t detest Luo Zheng because she felt that she was much better than Luo Zheng, but what about now?
When she thought about how Bo Hancheng had kept Luo Zheng in his home and treated her meticulously, she felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy!
Besides, she was feeling infuriated about the fact that Luo Zheng was deliberately going against her. “Miss Luo, since you’re well aware, why bother doing the same thing? At the Gu family banquet, Hancheng said clearly that I’m his woman and you are nothing! In that case, shouldn’t you be staying away from my man to save yourself some face?”
As Luo Zheng listened, she looked down to hide her emotions.
After all, Mu Nianqing was not entirely wrong and she couldn’t deny it!
Bo Hancheng, I really hate you. You publicly renounce me in one moment and yet, you pester and hold me captive the next. What are your intentions?
“Stay away from him? I’d like to as well, but it’s just a pity that he can’t live without me! You see, he was so afraid that I would leave that he even locked the door before he left. I’m really vexed and distressed too… ”
With a throbbing headache, Luo Zheng tried her best to keep her cool as she retorted with resentment.
Mu Nianqing’s face tensed up and a section of the apple skin was torn. She almost couldn’t keep up with the pretense anymore.
“Miss Mu, I don’t mean to say this but don’t you know clearly what your relationship with Bo Hancheng is?”
